The Celebration Foundation created the Memorial Garden as a space for Celebration residents to remember their loved ones. The Garden is maintained by Garden Club volunteers. Our club members take part in the Annual Fall Cleanup and members are needed monthly for garden maintenance. The garden is divided into six sections, and each section needs to be tended once a month.
This year the 2024 Fall Cleanup is Friday, October 25th at 8:00 a.m. We will be weeding, trimming, and planting new plants.
Earth Day 2024 ~ Memorial Garden Spring Cleanup. Thanks go out to Meryl for heading up a spring cleanup at the Memorial Gardens. The Garden always needs a haircut and deep weeding in the spring and fall to keep it looking so nice. Special thanks to Dorothy and John for their invaluable help. Throughout the year we have several other garden club members that take care of sections of the gardens on a monthly time frame. Thank you to all of you also.
On Friday, October 27, Meryl Rachlin led a group of early risers to spruce up and replant some of the plants in the Memorial Garden to get it ready for the Foundation Memorial service next weekend. Some plants don’t over summer well and others just die and need replacing after a few growing seasons.
Thank you to the six club volunteers that showed up to do this big yearly duty. The rest of the year the six sections of the garden are overseen by individual members but sometimes they need a little help. Thanks to CROA with help in buying some plants and with Brian Causey of Exquisite lawn care for removing all of the trimmings. A special thanks to Bob Boyer and Kathy Carlson in supplying some of the other plants.
